UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

Queen Of Ipanema has flourished since a tongue-tie was applied ahead of her handicap debut and has won her last three starts with something in hand. Even under a 12lb penalty, she's still 2lb well-in and needs to be taken seriously. However, there could also be mileage to be gained with EBONY MAW, who has run with credit on turf this autumn and, as there are all-weather winners in his pedigree, he could be good value now he's tried on a synthetic surface. Percy Willis is another for consideration.
Prediction : 1st Ebony Maw 2nd Queen Of Ipanema 3rd Percy Willis

COMPLIANT debuts in a handicap from a very workable mark and with all-weather winners in her pedigree, combined with the fact that her dam is a sister to a Breeders' Cup winner over this trip, the signs look good for the James Fanshawe-trained filly. The distance is also within range for Broctune Red and he can be fancied to at least go close. Bearwith and Smart Lass are others worthy of consideration.
Prediction : 1st Compliant 2nd Broctune Red 3rd Bearwith

Power Of Gold arguably sets the standard of those with experience and is one to keep a close eye on. However, there are several interesting newcomers worth noting, with HUMANITY, a 300,000-euro half-brother to French Group 3 winner Welwal, striking as the most appealing option. The trip is a little bit of a concern on his introduction, so any market support for fellow debutants Chesspiece and Hadrianus could also be rewarding to follow.
Prediction : 1st Humanity 2nd Power Of Gold 3rd Chesspiece

It's hard to look past WORLD WITHOUT LOVE after her comfortable victory at Wolverhampton on Monday and the nature of that win suggests a 6lb penalty might not be enough to stop her from going in again. Kincade can be forgiven a below-par run at Haydock and he could bounce back to form now returned to the all-weather. Real Terms has been running consistently well of late and might be capable of making the frame once again.
Prediction : 1st World Without Love 2nd Kincade 3rd Real Terms

This doesn't look the strongest contest for the grade, so a chance is taken on ARMY OF INDIA. Julie Camacho's grey wasn't beaten far in sixth at Southwell a fortnight ago and he is very well handicapped on some of his best form. Khabib returned to winning ways at Southwell and, off 5lb higher, he could go close again. The lightly-raced Our Absent Friends should still have plenty more to come too.
Prediction : 1st Army Of India 2nd Khabib 3rd Our Absent Friends

Plenty of nice types to consider here but MOHATU catches the eye as a son of Roaring Lion out of a Frankel mare, so William Haggas' colt might be up to making a winning start. Ben Dikduk has shown plenty of ability in his first two appearances and if he can settle better, he has every chance of making it third-time lucky. Flight Plan was well supported for his debut at Leicester and he can be expected to get closer with that outing under his belt.
Prediction : 1st Mohatu 2nd Ben Dikduk 3rd Flight Plan

DIVINE LIBRA created a good impression when finishing second on his racecourse debut at Kempton and a similar performance may be enough to gain a breakthrough success. Back See Daa is entitled to improve upon her opening fourth at Ascot and isn't taken lightly on this all-weather debut. Mukeedd, Dabbous and Ski Jump are the most intriguing of the newcomers and are worth monitoring in the market for clues as to their chances.
Prediction : 1st Divine Libra 2nd Back See Daa 3rd Mukeedd

Even taking into account his penalty, Pocket The Packet is due to go up another 4lb after his success here seven days ago, but the George Boughey inmate is likely to be priced accordingly and does need to prove as effective over this longer distance. SLIPPIN JIMMY may offer more value after winning snugly over C&D last month and a small rise in the ratings doesn't appear insurmountable. Lady Wormsley finished second to a subsequent winner at Kempton and is another to consider on this drop from 1m.
Prediction : 1st Slippin Jimmy 2nd Pocket The Packet 3rd Lady Wormsley
